Abstract

This reprinted article originally appeared in American Psychologist, Vol 6(4) 1969, 214-222. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 1970-10567-001.) Attempts to show "that the reason we wish to once again apply the full range of Aristotle's theory of knowledge is because it does meet with our growing understanding of human behavior. The challenge now is for the humanist to spell out in experimental terms all of those features of human behavior which are to him important, and which do not lend themselves to a Lockean, frequency interpretation."
